Reinstall tank cap and start engine; let engine run until it reaches its operating temperature and thermostat opens. AI· low it to run a few minutes more.
CAUTION: To prevent track damage, temperature in the storage area must not exceed 38°C (1 00° F). Remove any dirt or rust. Grease idler wheels at grease fittings. Wipe off surplus. Replace worn slider shoes. Wash or brush all dirt or rust accumulation from skis and springs. Grease ski legs at grease fittings. Check condition of skis, ski runners and leaf springs.
